That was at approximately 12:22 a.m., and it was the last time she spoke with her boyfriend.

Tyler J. Barefield, 36, is on trial for two counts of capital murder. Authorities say he shot and killed Brock and Beau Dewitt and crushed their bodies inside a gray Impala the following morning at a salvage yard he co-owns in Russellville.

Friday's testimony focused on events and surveillance video footage from that Friday night and Saturday morning, as well as Monday, Sept. 19 and Tuesday, Sept. 20.

Rowan was the first witness called by the state in Friday's proceedings at the Pope County Courthouse, where she clarified the timeline of her text conversation with Brock, who she said she dropped off at U-Pull-It at approximately 11:45 p.m. in order to steal items from the yard.

Among her texts were admissions of love: "I love you, and I don't want to spend my life with anyone else," and mundane things such as, "I'm going to Wal-Mart now, can you go with me?"

Barefield's defense attorney, Patrick Benca, only asked two questions before an objection from Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Heather Patton brought all the lawyers to the bench for a sidebar. Afterward, Benca passed the witness.

"How long did you date Brock," Benca asked previously. "He was married to someone else when he was professing his love to you? He was married to someone else, was he not?"

After the objection and a short recess, while the jury was not in the room, Benca told the court he had been called "childish and unprofessional" by Circuit Judge William "Bill" Pearson during the sidebar, and his client heard it.

"I'd like the court to tell me and my client what it is that I've done that is unprofessional or childish," Benca said. "I deserve an explanation on what justifies that being said in earshot of my client."

"When someone speaks, you don't allow them to finish," Pearson said.

When Benca attempted to interject, Pearson added, "Let the record show he's done it again."

"I want to know if the jurors heard that remark," Benca said. "They are closer to the bench than my client is."

Pearson doubled down. "Again, it was because you were acting that way. It was your conduct that invited that response."

Benca put his head in his hands before continuing, "You referred to me as being ridiculous. I understand I am animated ... my legal team has to reign me in ... I understand I bring that to the table ... but you're getting it all wrong [expressions], and that's why I have to stand up. I just want to make my record clear."

Pearson agreed to ask the jury whether they heard any comments made at the bench. One juror shook his head he did, although the specific remark was not specified, and told the judge he could continue his duties.

Zinger V. Arkansas

Benca has been so far unable to directly bring up Brock and Dewitt's ties to white supremacy gangs due an Arkansas Supreme Court ruling in Zinger V. State of Arkansas, in which the admissibility of third-party exculpatory evidence was discerned by the court.

Exculpatory evidence is evidence used to establish that a third party committed the crime rather than the defendant. The court ruled there must be direct or circumstantial evidence to connect the third party to the crime or it is inadmissible in court.

Before the jury entered the court at 9 a.m., Benca spoke to the judge about allowing specific individuals to testify and information and photographs be submitted which allegedly show Barefield did not receive due process because the investigation of the crime ceased the moment authorities saw him on camera with the AR-15 rifle.

Benca said Barefield is legally entitled to a defense, and part of that defense is his state of mind and his foreknowledge that Brock and Dewitt had ties to white supremacist gangs, which are known to be violent.

"We have 45 photos of a crime scene that include pictures of footprints in fresh mud, measured and all over the crime scene," Benca said.

Benca said the photos show footprints entering and leaving the crime scene.

"We've been prevented from presenting this evidence," Benca said. "We have witnesses who will testify they had lengthy conversations with Barefield about these individuals âŚ and their tendency toward violence. We're prepared to put them on the stand.

"The state can go as far as sending someone to the scene using a scope to support their theory, but we don't get to rebut why it is he would carry an AR-15 based on the info he had? Just like the state can put on evidence to show he was hunting those boys, which we 100 percent disagree with, he should have that same exact right."

Benca pointed out the state put an ATF agent on the stand on Thursday but he wasn't allowed to ask him why he was at U-Pull-It. He was part of the ATF to cover violent groups or violent crimes, Benca said.

"We have eight or nine allegations from people saying they thought someone else was out there," Benca said. "They were never investigated. There's no evidence the bodies were dragged. The medical examiner testified to that. There was also no DNA evidence on Barefield. We should be able to get into all these things before he [Barefield] takes the stand, as is his right, as it's also his right not to take the stand.

"There was more work to be done [by investigators]. There were more leads. They were never done. There was evidence to support more people out there, people with a tendency toward violence."

Pearson chose to go with his original ruling, made prior to jury selection: Speculation on another party on scene and about white supremacy can be discussed if it becomes relevant to the case but not before.

"We have evidence showing why he is walking out there [at the Salvage Yard] with an AR-15 and that this is not premeditated," Benca said.

"We are not denying you the opportunity to put on a defense," Pearson said, effectively putting the conversation to rest.

Other testimony:

Jennifer Beaty

Beaty, a forensic DNA analyst for the Arkansas State Crime Lab in Little Rock, testified a chain found on the property contained DNA from Dewitt, but items retrieved from inside Barefield's truck had none. Under cross examination, she testified she never received a DNA sample of Barefield for comparison and swabs of blood taken from the crushed vehicles that contained the bodies of Dewitt and Brock were never sent to her lab.

Derek Taylor

Taylor works occasionally at U-Pull-It and helped install security cameras. Taylor spent time labeling on a map where all eight cameras at the salvage yard are located and which ways they face. The camera and recording system, which Taylor said costs around $1,000, is motion activated.

Taylor testified he only checked the recorded footage when he had a reason to, such as after the company suspected a theft.

"Were you asked to check it on the 16th, 17th, 19th or 20th?" Patton asked.

"No," he answered. "Only time was when I was told to let the investigators look at it."

Under cross examination by defense attorney John Kennedy, Taylor explained there were often stray animals in the yard and that it could be a scary place at night. He also testified the company was in the process of installing razor wire above and below the fence to prevent thievery, of which the company had been a frequent victim.

"You were trying to figure out the best places to put the razor wire, right?" Kennedy said.

On Tuesday, during opening statements, the state told the court Barefield told Brock's parents, who discovered blood dripping off of a crushed vehicle, that it was "probably a dog."

Steve Barker

Barker, a detective with the Russellville Police Department (RPD) who specializes in technology, testified he was able to extract data from a cell phone found in the front seat of the crushed Impala that also contained the bodies of Dewitt and Brock.

Police previously testified the battery had been removed, but data showed the last activity on the phone was at 8 a.m. on Sept. 17.

The first surveillance footage from Sept. 16 showed Barefield enter the office at U-Pull-It, pace around the room several times, gather a few items and leave. The next video showed Barefield arriving at the salvage yard wearing camouflage, sit in his car for several minutes, then open the gate and come inside. The footage showed heavy rain and several flashes of lightning. Barefield exits the office and returns to his vehicle, pulls it inside the yard, and returns to the office.

The video, and later still photographs taken from the video given to jurors, showed Barefield go in and out of the office, shop and front entrance area after 10 p.m. Friday and after midnight Saturday.

A 911 tape played for jurors Thursday from a woman who said she heard three shots in succession, then a pause, then a fourth shot. She placed the call at 12:40 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016.

Video from before 1 a.m. showed Barefield carrying the AR-15 rifle into the shop, where he put it in his pickup truck and got a pistol and walked around the shop and adjoining office as well as outside.

"He had it with him quite a bit, on his holster," Barker said of the pistol.

"If there was a threat on the other side of that door, would you want your weapon ready?" Benca asked Barker.

"I would," he said.

Surveillance video later showed Barefield apparently looking for someone who may have gotten in through an open back door. He closed the door, walks to his truck, looking around with the pistol still in his hand, shuts the gate and leaves U-Pull-It.

Nick Costantino

Brock's stepfather, who previously testified Tuesday, said he went back to the salvage yard on Sept. 20 to ask Barefield if he and his wife could search for Brock and Dewitt in the part of the salvage yard where the public was not allowed.

The jury saw the exchange that was recorded with his cellphone. The stepfather admitted he was looking for two boys who may have broken into the salvage yard.

"The Dardanelle police said they were breaking in here every week," Barefield said.

"How would you feel if your son was missing," Costantino asked.

"Where were they stripping the vehicle stuff from?" Barefield asked.

"There was nothing missing from any vehicle. That's why we want to do a little more research that the police don't want to do," Costantino said.

"We had a S-10 stolen by those boys, and one of them was selling stuff on Facebook," Barefield noted. "They stole three sets of tires and wheels around that vehicle getting ready to take them out of here. I am trying to find out about their theft ring.

"If you want to go over there one more time, and you all may be in on the theft ring, I don't know, stranger things have happened. You can go back in there one more time, and that's it."

Costantino's wife later found blood dripping from a stack of vehicles in the salvage yard.
